Biography

Professor Armitage is Head of Swinburne’s Internet For Things (I4T) Research Lab (http://i4t.swin.edu.au). His research focuses on the field of IP network infrastructure (such as performance, scalability, resilience, cyber-security and monitoring) that ultimately impacts on an end-user's experience of the Internet.

Professor Armitage’s research examines ways to engineer the Internet to become a unified, resilient and reliable communications platform for billions of humans and orders of magnitude more devices embedded in our built environments. He has previously focused on real-time applications (such as video conferencing and fast-paced, multiplayer online games) and their interactions with the underlying IP network infrastructure.

Other areas of interest include immersive tools for real-time visualisation of IP network conditions, collaborative inquiry/control of network devices, minimally-intrusive IP traffic classification schemes and network monitoring, along with mobile networks and the implications of networks with more bandwidth around the edge than in the core.
